[nfbmi-talk] Michigan Web Site

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi,

We do have a small budget for the project.  We will stay within that.  I am
looking, here for ideas.  I am very interested in any you have.

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Honestly, I don't think we have the money i our treasury to pay for a 
website at this point, other than the coffee setup and maintenance. In 
theory, either the current setup or one using another CMS system would 
probably be the best option with little or no maintenance.
